If you have the room, use 4 of those chokes. Wire them in series/parallel to yield a net inductance/resistance = to that of a single choke, with 2X the current handling capability.

It's not a problem to have the choke(s) close to the power trafo, IF you orient the lamination stacks perpendicular to each other.

ok, i have tons of room. I might be able to fit in about 20! But then i could have better bought a descent choke. The thing works fine without, just want to see if E2,80 can really boost the performance.

Is there a way to check power handling? i guess max power is when the core saturates?

that must be measurable with a signal generator and a scope i suspect?
